एक दंत दयावंत,
चार भुजा धारी ।
माथे सिंदूर सोहे,
मूसे की सवारी ॥
जय गणेश जय गणेश,

पान चढ़े फल चढ़े,
और चढ़े मेवा ।
लड्डुअन का भोग लगे,
संत करें सेवा ॥

माता जाकी पार्वती,
पिता महादेवा ॥
अंधन को आंख देत,
कोढ़िन को काया ।
बांझन को पुत्र देत,
निर्धन को माया ॥
जय गणेश जय गणेश,
जय गणेश देवा ।
माता जाकी पार्वती,
पिता महादेवा ॥
'सूर' श्याम शरण आए,
सफल कीजे सेवा ।
माता जाकी पार्वती,
पिता महादेवा ॥
जय गणेश जय गणेश,
जय गणेश देवा ।
माता जाकी पार्वती,
पिता महादेवा ॥
दीनन की लाज रखो,
शंभु सुतकारी ।

जय गणेश जय गणेश,
जय गणेश देवा ।
माता जाकी पार्वती,
पिता महादेवा ॥
